Enjoy Life.

What truly beautiful world we live
in! Nature gives us grandeur of noun
tains, gens and oceans, and thousands
of means of enjoyment. We can de-
sire no better when in perfect health /;
but how often do the majority OF peo-
pie feel like giving it up disheartened,
discouraged aud worn ont with dis
ease. when there Is no occasion for this
feeling, as every sufferer can easily OBJ
tain satisfactory proof, that Green's
august FotCer, will make them free
from disease, as when born. Dyspepsia

causes of seventy-tlve per cent. of such
maladies as Billiousness, Indigestion,
Sick Headache, Costiveness, Nervous

Palpitation of the Heart, and other
distressing symptoms. Three doses of

IT u WONDERFUL

how easily rheumatism begins, and how
insidiously it grows in the system, until
one is startled to find himself its victim
in either the acute or chronic form. He
then learns the fearful tenacity Of its
grip and the utter p0werlessness OF tho
ordinary remedies to give relief.
Probably to no disease have physicians
given more stu ly, AMI none has more
Completely bafiled thoir efforts to provide
a specific; and until Athlophoros was dis
covered there was no medicine which
would ely cure rheumatism, neuralgia
and nerv rs or sick headache. Thousands
Of testimonials like the following prove
beyond question that Athlophoros is the
only reliable remedy, and that it will do
all that is claimed for it.
East Saginaw, Mich.
About four weeks ago was taken with
a severe attack of rheumatism. My feet
were SO swollen that could not wear my
boots; in fact, could just hobble along,
and got very little sleep at night, As l
suffered intense pain whether l sat up or
laid down. went out and bought n pair
of crutches to enable me to get around.
After buying them, when on my way
home, stopped in at w. ID. Moor's drug
store, aud noticing Athlophoros for sale l
decided to try bottle. After taking half
a bottle l laid my crutches aside, only
using them the one time-on my way
home. The swelling is all reduced, and
now wear my boots with perfect ease. have
not had any pain since. IwOuld not take
$40 for the balance If the bottle il could
not get more. Any one suffering with rheu-
matism need not suffer any longer if they
will take Athlophoros. JED GRIGwARE,
Mate of SteamerW. r. Burt, running be-
tween East Saginaw and Bay City, Mich"
Every druggist should keep Athlophoros
and AthlophOros Pills, but where they cam
not be bought of the druggist the Athlo-
phoros Co., liz Wall St., New York, will
send either carriage paid) on receipt Of
regular price, which is $l.O0 per bottle
for Athlophoros and Soc. for Pills.
For liver and kidney diseases. dyspepsia, In
digestion, weakness, nervous debility, diseases
OF women, constipation, headache, impure
blood, DC, Athlophoros Pills are uneQualed.

Scandal.

ScOnu2l Is tie WORST 10TH Oh SpeeCn
that the mouth can utter; and good
breeding ought To have the pow
er to extinguish its presence from every
household, coterie and asSemblage.
"Who slabs my name would stab my
person too, Did not the hangmans' axe
lie in the way"
Says ''Croun. in Henry VII"
And it is, indeed, a murderous act to
strive to take away persons charac-
ter by hints and inuendoes. A we'll
bred man or which should
also mean q large-hearted, kind
ly man and woman-could never in
dulGe in aspersions OF character. it
would be an act utterly foreign to their
character. And Ii detractions and
ISLANDERS are spoken in their presence,
they can always turn the edge of the
unkind and bitter remarks, by relat
ing something pleasant about the per-
sons. And
Happy are they that hear their de-
fractions,
And can put them to mending."
Until the millennium comes-that
blessed time which SO many look for
ward TO as near at hand-we cannot
stife all ISLANDERS, but each one can do
little towards the glorious work.
And l think it "a good way to an
nounce boldly that you will not give
ear to scandulous accounts of your
neighborhood. 4. e.. the little petty
gossip of the every days doings. But
| if some fraudulent act has been COM
mitted. and it is well known that so
and so" has bitterly transgressed
against the laws of God and man. then,
l do not call it talking scandal to ex-
press ones opinion of the act. Not
blatantly and rudely, but to say plainly
that it is not an act to be quietly set
aside in a God-loving, Christ follow
ing community, but should bear the
dsapproval of every right minded per
son in the place.
If this open seal of reproof were
placed upon all wrong-doing, We should
have much more courtesy and good
breeding in our midst But to strive
to spy out little faults and foibleS, aud
TO relate them with exaggerations, is to
be a scandal monger, who is always q
very low-bred fellow, no matter what
the sex may be. There are those in
every COllllnuIlllys however, WIZ IONS
to say hateful things" words that
they know will sting like n hornet, and
are worse TO receive than blows-word.
which cause untold agonies, and al
ways murder sleep. Truly, Their
tongues are like scorpions, and are as
deadly as their bites. Yet do not think
that the these people pass through life
unscathed. No. the bitterness of Their
